The best way is to celebrate the New Year together.
If two in-laws are close and both live in the same city, they can spend the New Year together, or at least have dinner together.
My neighbor is like this. She has an only child and is married to a one-child family. This man runs a company at home, and his parents-in-law are too busy with their careers to take care of their grandchildren. After giving birth, the woman basically lives in her mother's house.
During the Chinese New Year, the two families went to the restaurant to order a New Year's Eve dinner and had a good time together. After the New Year's Eve, my daughter followed her husband's family for the New Year, and returned to her family as a guest on the second day of the following year.
Later, two in-laws went to another community to buy a villa and became neighbors, which made it more convenient to take care of them, just like a family. It's convenient to celebrate the New Year together, but it's embarrassing not to celebrate the New Year together!
These two families have the same values, similar family backgrounds and get along well. They have been together for almost 10 years, and they get along well, and it is not bad to spend the New Year together.
Not being together for the New Year is nothing more than several situations:
1. The two families are far away and are not in the same city at all.
If two in-laws are far away, there are parents on them, and each has his own relatives and friends. They have to visit relatives and friends during the Spring Festival, and it is inappropriate to go anywhere for the Spring Festival. They can't let go of their relatives and simply live at home.
As for the young couple, they can only take turns to come over for the New Year. I can spend it at my in-laws' house this year or at my parents' house next year. My colleague's daughter-in-law is from Xinjiang She often goes back to Xinjiang for the New Year every few years and lives in Xinjiang for the first half of the month. It's too far to help.
2, special tradition, that prostitutes can not spend the New Year in their parents' homes.
In other places, there is a special tradition that prostitutes can't spend the New Year at their parents' home. Daughters can visit their parents' home years ago and give them some new year goods. They are only allowed to return to their parents' home after New Year's Day.
In this case, no matter how close the two families are, they will not spend the New Year together.
